1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT If You Own or Owned Certain Remington Firearms, You Could Receive Benefits From a Class-Action Settlement. A U.S. federal court authorized this notice. It is not from a lawyer. You are not being sued. A proposed nationwide Settlement resolves a class-action lawsuit against Defendants Remington Arms Company, LLC; E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.; and Sporting Goods Properties, Inc. concerning certain firearms that contain a trigger mechanism with a component known as a trigger connector and certain firearms that contain an X-Mark Pro trigger mechanism. Settlement Class Members have legal rights and options and deadlines by which they must exercise them. The Settlement provides benefits to: (1) Current owners of Remington Model 700, Seven, Sportsman 78, 673, 710, 715, 770, 600, 660, XP-100, 721, 722, and 725 firearms containing a Remington trigger mechanism that utilizes a trigger connector; (2) Current owners of Remington Model 700 and Model Seven rifles containing an X-Mark Pro trigger mechanism manufactured from May 1, 2006 to April 9, 2014 who did not participate in the voluntary X-Mark Pro product recall prior to April 14, 2015; and (3) Current and former owners of Remington Model 700 and Model Seven rifles who replaced at their own cost their rifle s original Walker trigger mechanism with an X-Mark Pro trigger mechanism. THIS SETTLEMENT DOES NOT RESOLVE OR AFFECT ANY CLAIM FOR PERSONAL INJURIES OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Settlement Class Members may be entitled to: (1) have their trigger mechanism retrofitted with a new X-Mark Pro or other connectorless trigger mechanism; (2) receive a voucher code for Remington products redeemable at Remington s online store; and/or (3) be refunded the money they spent to replace their Model 700 or Seven s original Walker trigger mechanism with an X-Mark Pro trigger mechanism. All valid claimants will also be provided with a DVD regarding safe firearm handling practices. Please read this Notice carefully. You must file a Claim Form in order to receive benefits under the Settlement Agreement. You have from now until eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date to file a Claim Form. ( Effective Date means the date on which the order approving the Settlement Agreement becomes final.) Your legal rights are affected, whether you act or don t act. You are encouraged to periodically check the Settlement Website, because it will be updated with additional information.

2 BASIC INFORMATION 1. What is this Notice about? A Court authorized this Notice because you may have a right to know about a proposed Settlement of a class-action lawsuit and about your rights, options and associated deadlines before the Court decides whether to give final approval to the Settlement. The name of the lawsuit is Pollard v. Remington Arms Co., LLC, et al., Case No. 4:13-cv ODS (W.D. Mo.). The Defendants are Remington Arms Company, LLC; E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.; and Sporting Goods Properties, Inc. This Notice explains the lawsuit, the proposed Settlement, and your legal rights and options. The Court still has to decide whether to finally approve the Settlement. Certain benefits will be provided only if the Court finally approves the Settlement and after any appeals are resolved in favor of the Settlement. Please check the Settlement Website identified in this Notice regularly. Your legal rights may be affected even if you do not act. Please read this Notice carefully. YOUR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS SUBMIT A CLAIM EXCLUDE YOURSELF OBJECT GO TO A HEARING DO NOTHING You must submit a Claim Form to receive benefits under the Settlement. The deadline for submitting a Claim Form is eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date of the Settlement. You will not receive any benefits under the Settlement if you do not submit a timely Claim Form. If you do this, you are not entitled to Settlement benefits, but you keep your right to sue Defendants on your own about the issues in the lawsuit. If you do not exclude yourself, you can write to the Court about why you don t like the proposed Settlement. If you do not exclude yourself, you can appear and ask to speak to the Court directly about the Settlement. You may also appear at the hearing through your own lawyer. You will not receive Settlement benefits that you may otherwise be eligible for and you give up the right to sue Defendants about the issues in the lawsuit. 2. What is the lawsuit about? The class action lawsuit claims that trigger mechanisms with a component part known as a trigger connector are defectively designed and can result in accidental discharges without the 2

3 trigger being pulled. The lawsuit further claims that from May 1, 2006 to April 9, 2014, the X- Mark Pro trigger mechanism assembly process created the potential for the application of an excess amount of bonding agent, which could cause Model 700 or Seven rifles containing such trigger mechanisms to discharge without a trigger pull under certain limited conditions. The lawsuit contends that the value and utility of these firearms have been diminished as a result of these alleged defects. Defendants deny Plaintiffs allegations and claim that the design of the firearms is not defective and that the value and utility of these firearms have not been diminished. The Parties agreed to resolve these matters before these issues were decided by the Court. This Settlement does not involve claims of personal injury or property damage. 3. What is a class action? In a class action, one or more plaintiffs called class representatives sue one or more defendants on behalf of other people who have similar claims. A court decides whether any lawsuit may proceed as a class action, and this Court has not finally decided that the lawsuit may be certified as a class action. All of these people with claims, together, are the Settlement Class or Settlement Class Members if the Court approves this procedure. Then, that Court resolves the issues for all Settlement Class Members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Settlement Class. 4. Why is there a Settlement? Both sides in the lawsuit agreed to a settlement so that the Settlement Class Members can get benefits, to avoid the cost and risk of further litigation, including a potential trial, and in exchange for releasing Defendants from liability. The settlement does not mean that Defendants broke any laws and/or did anything wrong, and the Court did not decide which side was right. The Settlement here has been preliminarily approved by the Court, which authorized the issuance of this Notice. The class representatives and the lawyers representing them (called Class Counsel ) believe that the Settlement is in the best interests of all Settlement Class Members. The essential terms of the Settlement are summarized in this Notice. The Settlement Agreement along with all exhibits and addenda sets forth in greater detail the rights and obligations of the parties. If there is any conflict between this Notice and the Settlement Agreement, the Settlement Agreement governs. 3

X-Mark Pro and Model 770 Connectorless Trigger Mechanism Retrofit Current owners of Model 700 and Seven firearms containing an X-Mark Pro trigger mechanism manufactured from May 1, 2006 to April 9, 2014 who have not participated in the voluntary X-Mark Pro product recall are entitled to have their trigger mechanism replaced with an X-Mark Pro trigger mechanism as follows. A Remington Authorized Repair Center ( RARC ) will remove the trigger mechanism and retrofit your firearm with an X-Mark Pro trigger mechanism manufactured under the new assembly process at no cost to you.

6 Mark Pro trigger. However, the Product Safety Recall does not provide for any other benefit described herein. Current owners of rifles subject to the Product Safety Recall may still participate in this settlement.

Please note: With certain limited exceptions (see the Claim Form for further details), this benefit will not be provided until after the Effective Date, but you may submit your Claim Form now.

8 C. REMAINING IN THE SETTLEMENT 15. What am I giving up if I stay in the Settlement Classes? If the Settlement becomes final, Settlement Class Members who do not exclude themselves from the Settlement Classes will release Defendants from liability and will not be able to sue Defendants about the issues in the lawsuit. The Second Amended Settlement Agreement at paragraphs describes the released claims in necessary legal terminology, so read it carefully. The Settlement Agreement is available at The full release section is also attached as Appendix A to this Notice. You can talk to one of the lawyers listed in Question 22 for free or you can talk to your own lawyer at your own expense if you have questions about the released claims or what they mean. D. EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT You do not have to take part in the Settlement or be a Settlement Class Member. You can do what is called excluding yourself or opting out. If you exclude yourself, you will not receive any benefits under the Settlement and you cannot object to the Settlement. Any Court orders will not apply to you. By excluding yourself, you keep any right to file or proceed with a lawsuit against the Defendants over the legal issues in this lawsuit. 16. If I don t exclude myself, can I sue later? Unless you exclude yourself, you give up the right to sue Defendants for the issues resolved by this Settlement. If the Settlement is finally approved, you will be permanently enjoined and barred from initiating or continuing any lawsuit or other proceeding against Defendants about the issues in the lawsuit. 17. If I exclude myself, can I get anything from this Settlement? If you exclude yourself, you cannot get Settlement benefits and you cannot object to the Settlement. But, if you timely and properly exclude yourself, the Settlement will not prevent you from suing, continuing to sue or remaining or becoming part of a different lawsuit against Defendants in the future about the issues in the lawsuit. If you exclude yourself, you will not be bound by anything that happens in this lawsuit and you may not object to the Settlement. 18. How do I get out of the Settlement? To exclude yourself from the Settlement, you must send a letter by mail saying that you want to be excluded from the Settlement in Pollard v. Remington Arms Co., LLC, et al., and identify the case number (No. 4:13-cv ODS). In the letter, you must include your name; address; model and serial number of your firearm; telephone number; and your signature. If you have 8

9 entered into a written or oral agreement to be represented by counsel, the letter must also be signed by the attorney who represents you. You can t ask to be excluded over the phone or at You must mail your exclusion request to: Angeion Group Attn: Remington Claims Suite 660, 1801 Market Street Philadelphia, PA Your exclusion request must be received by October 5, Please check regularly for updates regarding the Settlement. E. OBJECTING TO THE SETTLEMENT You can tell the Court if you don t agree with the Settlement or some part of it. 19. How do I tell the Court if I don t like the Settlement? If you are a Settlement Class Member, and you don t exclude yourself from the Settlement Classes, you can object to the Settlement if you don t like some part of it. You can give reasons why you think the Court should not approve it. The Court will consider your views but may approve the Settlement anyway. To object, you or your lawyer must send a written objection containing all of the following: The name and title of the lawsuit, Pollard v. Remington Arms Co., LLC, et al., Case No. 4:13-cv ODS; A written statement of objections clearly specifying the grounds and reasons for each objection; A statement of whether or not you or your lawyer will ask to appear at the Final Approval Hearing to talk about your objections, and if so, how long you will need to present your objections; Copies of any documents you or your lawyer will present at the Final Approval Hearing; Your current address, telephone number and address, and that of your attorney, if any; Information showing that you are a member of one or more Settlement Classes, including a list of the firearms to which your objection applies (with serial number and the model of each firearm); and Your signature and that of your attorney, if you have one. You must mail your objection postmarked no later than October 5, 2015, to: 9

10 Angeion Group Attn: Remington Claims Suite 660, 1801 Market Street Philadelphia, PA In addition, you must also file the objection with the Clerk of Court (identified below), postmarked no later than October 5, If you retain an attorney to object to the Settlement, the attorney must file a notice of appearance and serve it on Class Counsel and Defense Counsel no later than five (5) days after objecting to the Settlement. Send your objection to: Clerk of Court Charles Evans Whittaker Courthouse Attn: Clerk s Office 400 East 9th Street Kansas City, MO What is the difference between objecting and excluding myself from the Settlement? Excluding yourself is telling the Court that you don t want to be part of the Class. If you exclude yourself, you have no basis to object because the Settlement no longer affects you. Objecting is telling the Court that you don t like something about the Settlement. You can only object if you stay in a Settlement Class. If you are a Settlement Class Member and you do nothing, you will remain a Settlement Class Member and all of the Court s orders will apply to you, you will be eligible for the Settlement benefits described above as long as you satisfy the conditions for receiving each benefit, and you will not be able to sue Defendants over the issues in the lawsuit. 21. What happens if I do nothing at all? If you are a Settlement Class Member and you do nothing, you will remain a Settlement Class Member and all of the Court s orders will apply to you, you will be eligible for the Settlement benefits described above as long as you satisfy the conditions for receiving each benefit, and you will not be able to sue Defendants over the issues in the lawsuit. 22. Do I have a lawyer in the case? F. THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU Yes. The Court has appointed lawyers to represent you and other Settlement Class Members. These lawyers are: 10

11 Richard J. Arsenault NEBLETT, BEARD & ARSENAULT 2220 Bonaventure Court Alexandria, LA Charles E. Schaffer LEVIN, FISHBEIN, SEDRAN & BERMAN 510 Walnut Street, Suite 500 Philadelphia, PA Eric D. Holland HOLLAND LAW FIRM 300 N. Tucker Boulevard, Suite 801 St. Louis, MO W. Mark Lanier LANIER LAW FIRM 6810 FM 1960 West Houston, TX You will not be charged for these lawyers. If you want to be represented by another lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense. 23. How will the lawyers be paid? The lawyers who represent the Settlement Classes will ask the Court for reimbursement of their out-of-pocket expenses and an award of attorneys fees and costs based on their work in this litigation in an amount not to exceed $12.5 million. The amount of attorneys fees to be awarded will be determined solely by the Court. The amount of the award will in large part be based on the amount of time spent by the lawyers litigating this case since The Court must approve any request for fees, expenses and costs. These payments of legal fees and expenses will not reduce the value of the Settlement benefits made available to Settlement Class Members. Defendants will also separately pay the costs to provide notice of and to administer the Settlement. 24. Will the class representatives who have worked with lawyers receive any extra payment? Yes. To compensate them for the work in this litigation, Class Counsel will ask the Court for an incentive award in the amount of $2,500 for each class representative. These payments will not reduce the value of the Settlement benefits made available to Settlement Class Members. G. THE COURT S FINAL APPROVAL HEARING The Court will hold a hearing to decide whether to grant final approval to the Settlement. If you have filed an objection on time and attend the hearing, you may ask to speak, but you don t have to attend or speak. 11

12 25. When and where will the Court decide whether to grant final approval of the Settlement? The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing at 1:00 pm on December 14, 2015, at the Charles Evans Whittaker Courthouse, 400 East 9th Street, Kansas City, Missouri At this hearing, the Court will consider whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. If there are written objections, the Court will consider them, and the Court will listen to people who have asked to speak at the hearing. After the hearing, the Court will decide whether to grant final approval of the Settlement and, if so, how much to pay the lawyers representing Settlement Class Members. We do not know how long it will take the Court to render these decisions. 26. Do I have to come to the hearing? No. Class Counsel will answer any question the Court may have. But you are welcome to come at your own expense. If you send an objection, you don t have to come to court to talk about it as long as you filed a written objection with all of the required information on time with the Court and delivered it on time to Class Counsel and Defendants Counsel, the Court will consider it. You may also have a lawyer attend the hearing on your behalf, but it is not required. 27. When will the Settlement be final? The Settlement will not be final unless and until the Court grants final approval of the Settlement at or after the Fairness Hearing and after any appeals are resolved in favor of the Settlement.
